MEET LANCE TOLAND

Prior to founding Lance Toland Associates, Lance Toland was a freight pilot (Beech 18 and DC-3) for Academy Airlines and a 3rd year law student at Woodrow Wilson School of Law. His employer, Bob McSwiggan, asked Lance to "find out why I am paying so much for my company's aircraft insurance."

Already a licensed excess and surplus lines insurance Broker, Lance began contacting aviation underwriters. He quickly learned that he already knew more about aviation insurance resources than the incumbent agent handling Academy Airlines account. Lance used his knowledge and negotiating skills to lower McSwiggan's $250,000 insurance renewal to only $170,000 without compromising coverage and keeping it domestically in his backyard Atlanta, Georgia. Realizing that Atlanta was the center for western hemisphere aviation insurance underwriting, it was the clear end of a future lawyer and the start of Lance's new career.

Today, Lance is a regular guest speaker at many aviation-related events and a participant in industry expert panel discussions. Lance is a published author, sharing his expertise in publications such as Business and Commercial Aviation, Forbes and Falcon Owners Newsletter. His regular aviation insurance column, "Ask Lance Toland," appears in the Pilatus Owners and Pilots Association quarterly newsletter. Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue appointed Lance to his Aviation Task Force, which investigated state aviation resources regarding risk management, safety practices and overall efficiency. The undertaking resulted in a total revamp of the State's aviation assets, saving Georgia taxpayers millions of dollars and the implementation of many safety initiatives.

Lance is a 17,000 ATP including a Seaplane rating with additional type ratings in the Hawker, Dassault Falcon, DC-3, Lockheed Loadstar, B-25, Fairchild C-123K, AD-4 Skyraider. He also maintains a commercial multi-engine rotor wing rating. The company fleet consists of a DC-3, Pilatus PC12 and P3 and a Eurocopter.
